10 Awesome Linux Applications for Your PlayStation 3

,----[ Quote ]
| So you’ve installed that shiny Ubuntu distro onto your PlayStation 3 and 
| finagled a couple of cool applications to boot. And yet, there’s still a lot 
| of empty real estate on that newly formatted hard drive, and you’re no doubt 
| pondering what else you can load up on your now living room-friendly PC. 
| Turns out, there are literally thousands of options available; but the task 
| of sorting through the seemingly endless lists and testing each and every app 
| to see if it suits your tastes and jives with the PS3 can be a daunting task. 
| But luckily for you, we’ve done exactly that; we rolled up our sleeves, 
| burned the midnight oil, and muscled the necessary digital elbow grease to 
| whittle down the Ubuntu archives to the top 10 absolute keepers. So what are 
| you waiting for? Plug in your PS3’s keyboard and mouse, fire up Jaunty 
| Jackalope, and read onward to get cracking.
